Ha Long pentagon more than the sum of its corners

Located on a 500-meter-square plot in Ha Long Town, the northern province of Quang Ninh, the house stands out among its neighbors in an environment beset by booming tourism.

Architects designed a pentagon within a pentagon that establishes layers of interior and semi-exterior spaces filled with forest-like greenery.

A rough, exposed outer shell of concrete, mimicking stone found across Ha Long Bay, adds a sense of perspective and distancing.

Many a family take root in the bedroom.

Large panes of glass offer discreet views of the bay without compromising on privacy.

Trees add a green, jagged edge to the symmetrical terrace.
